Hi! We're excited to announce that the American Patchwork & Quilting One Million Pillowcase Challenge reached its halfway point! More than 500,000 pillowcases have been donated to charities since the challenge’s inception in 2010. We’re proud to be a sponsor of this wonderful Challenge!
To celebrate this milestone, we have teamed up with APQ to offer a great Giveaway! There will be 4 winners. Each will receive a prize package of six magazines--a total value of over $50.00! To enter to win, comment on our blog below with the hashtag "APQgiveaway"
But, we need to make more pillowcases in order to help APQ reach their goal of one million pillowcases! So, we’re challenging quilters, crafters, and sewers across the country to make a difference as part of this challenge. To find out how you can help, visit AllPeopleQuilt.com/millionpillowcases.

Good luck and Cuddles,
